Description:

Parked on Kiev’s deck planes/helos are fully operable, the same as parked on Moskva’s deck helicopters and one more helicopter inside superstructure hangar.

Mod was prepared as an addition to pure aircraft carriers – Air deck operations upgrade but can be loaded without it

1) Kiev – now it is implemented to the Air deck operations upgrade mod as additional variant. It is playable in this mod too

To see description go to the Air deck operations upgrade mod.

2) Moskva

Two helicopters are parked on deck in place where many photos of Moskva class show helis presence there. Another heli is inside superstructure hangar. These 3 helis are useable and take-off from position number 2. Other helicoptrers from below deck hangar are lifted up by elevators.
In vanilla vessel helicopters take-off procedure are messy espetially in massive launching operations. It is changed. Helicopters aren’t lifted up when launching spots are occupied and in consequence don’t wait on deck very very close to taking-off helis. When launching position number 3 is busy rear elevator is blocked and vice versa.
Helicopters land on spots number 3 and 4. If hangar in superstructre and one on deck parking place are occupied, helicopters land simultainously on spots 3 and 4. Otherwise helicopters land on spot number 3, taxi to hangar in superstructure and one on deck parking place and than spot number 4 is unblocked to simultainous landings. Helicopters have got holding pattern, so they don’t land directly from the heading course but first go to holding area.
First two helicopters that land on spot number 3 and taxi to on deck parking place and to the superstructure hangar block spot number 4. When both places are occupied, landings can be proceded on spots 3 and 4 simultainously.

3) Miscellanea

– 4 DC teams instead of 3 on Kiev and Moskva.
